Know how to use Play Stations’ new feature Share Play, connecting you to your friend’s game library. If you have a friend who has a PS4 just like you do you have the option to have access to his game library while using your PS4. Friends with PS5’s can also gameshare and access their PS5 games with your PS4. Disclaimer: share play is enabled for players only with the Play Station subscription.

- Log into your PlayStation Account using your friend’s console
- Click on Settings
- Then go to Account Manager
- Switch the primary controller to your friend’s console by selecting Activate as Your Primary PS4. (deactivate your console at the time, just in case)
Finally, all of your friend’s games in his library will be available to you too, you will just need to download them to your hard drive.
